Yes, we all choose to have kids, but our society makes it difficult to have more than one (hopefully a healthy one, one, with no problems or special needs) without saving up for 20 years.

We felt that the value of time with relatives (some of whom our son hadn't seen in two years) was -- to paraphrase MasterCard -- priceless. This is a very interesting point.
